LETS DANCE

[altshauf]

student at mtsu (murfreesboro). former student of the small northwest tennessee dyersburg trojans. couldnt be there for the oakland game. wish i could have been there. i will be back for the mj game! congrats to a school that has been to the state tournament 3 times in the past 15 years. you see it is a little easier when year in and out when you have 5 aaa schools in town that have a shot to win region. dyersburg dosent have this luxury. better yet, how about they are the only aaa (next year aa) school within 40 miles (jackson). the unknowns that just refuse to lose. lets also not forget to mention the fact that dyersburg has 900 students. about half the size of oakland or riverdale.

mount juliet is doing what everyone (including myself) expected them to do... win. so dyersburg has a tall mountain to climb for the state championship... which, by the way is our first ever (girls or boys) basketball state championship game. i look at the past 15 years, and i see holden, maddox, mitchell, johnson, shaw, ozment, etc. and i hope that strayhorn, bartlett, ozment, pike, and so on will pull through one final game. but then i think about mt juliet and just seeing that #2 (nationally) in front of their name, and i wonder just how this one will go. i can see a really close dyersburg or mt juliet win, a mt juliet blowout (mt juliet beat the same team dyersburg did...but by 34), and that is it.

dont worry though trojan fans. you have already done what no one else thought that you could do. and murfreesboro will become just as farmiliar to you as it is to myself (THE LOS PORTALES OF MURFREESBORO IS LAS PALMAS ON OLD FORT PRKWY) in the coming years as you drop to AA. so congrats to what you have accomplished in what will be your "last hoorah through AAA".

I WAS THERE IN 1992 2001 AND I WILL BE THERE TOMORROW. GO TROJANS!!!
